What milestones did Justin Jefferson achieve in his first six NFL seasons?
McCarthy shotgun back to pass, side arms over the middle to Jefferson, caught at the 45, turns it up to the 50, in Giants territory to the 46, close to the first down. He barely missed it, but he has run himself into the history books with that reception. Justin Jefferson has the most receptions of any player in the history of the NFL for their first six seasons. He just passed Jarvis Landry. That guy, Justin Jefferson, joins us now on FM 100.3, KFAN, and I believe also Vikings.com. With Nordo, I'm Paul Allen, and good to see you. Good to see you as well. Everything's okay? Everything is great. Good. Just another day. Yeah, well, this seems to be, correct me if I'm wrong here, Justin, into your seventh year.
This is a really good time for players right now. I mean, you tear it up this week at minicamp, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then boom, no football for a month and change up to training camp. Isn't this a great time to be a player?
Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, it's a good time and a bad time as well just because, you know, if you don't really have your priorities in order, you don't have – That main goal that you want to reach this month and a half, it can backfire on you if you don't really continue to put in that work, continue to grind, and continue to make sure your body is in order to withhold the season. It's just all about just continue to go into work and continue to meet up with the guys and to continue the connection that we have been building for the past couple weeks in OTAs. You know, it's a good time off, but it's still work to be done.
Are you always in shape? And like if you got the right call in February or March, and I don't know, something in the middle of the table and we're going to compete for it.
Yeah.
Are you always in shape? If you got that call in February or March and you had to compete at a super high level, could you do it?
If I knew I was getting that call, yeah. I mean, obviously during that time in late January, February, it's kind of relaxation time. uh time a little bit uh it's always time for kind of get away from football a little bit get away from the world get away from fans everything and kind of just have that um you know just that moment with your friends family uh whatever that kind of allows you to uh you know escape you know so uh you know maybe during that time uh i might not be in the best shape but uh you know they give me a call probably a month later or especially right now, I'm good to go.
So with right now, when the 4th of July hits, all right, so three mandatory minicamps this week, then get away for a little while, and then with training camp, it's every single day, then games, stuff like that. When the 4th of July hits, is it like, boom? You got to get your eye, you know, kind of low key, but you got to get your eye on what's coming with training camp and the season. Fourth of July, is that the day?
Yeah, that's a good mark for sure. That's about the day kind of everybody kind of locks in a little bit more. Obviously, you know, some people celebrate the Fourth of July. So that day is kind of like the last day of celebration or that time of celebration. Off-season. So that's when it really hits and really it's time to really work out for real, for real, and get in that really top-tier season shape in order to go into training camp. Because if you don't come into training camp in at least a good shape, it's going to be a long training camp for you. So it's definitely that time to kind of lock in and really focus on the big picture.
Help me with this, and I'm in no way asking you to tout, okay? But odds makers have you guys at eight and a half wins for the season wins total. They ain't no surprise. Well, I think it's ridiculous. I mean, and I'm not being Barney the Purple Dinosaur here like Super Homer announcer guy. You won nine last year, and we consistently had a hard time the whole year getting the best player on the team, the ball.
Yeah, right.
And still found a way to win nine. I mean, like, how do you read into that eight and a half?
